Cycling Mt. Bike – Sea Otter Classic Pro Men & Women Downhill results

Tracy Moseley (Trek World Cup) took a narrow victory overy Melissa Buhl (KHS) in the elite women’s downhill on Sunday morning. Moseley started first and enjoyed an open track en route to setting a time that would hold up as the fastest throughout the finals.

While waiting for the rest of the racers to finish and before she had any idea she had won, Moseley said of her run, “I’m pretty disappointed. I unclipped in the first turn and it took me a bit to clip back in and find my rhythm. I overcooked another turn, too. I wasn’t riding as precisely as I would have liked.”

Nonetheless, her run was still good enough for a win, which she collected thanks to a 0.6-second advantage over Buhl.

Buhl, who was the last rider to start and the other top favorite besides Moseley, encountered some traffic on the way down. She ran into interference in the final stretch as she attempted to pass the rider who had started in front of her, Abigail Hippely. “I’ve passed riders before, but I’ve never lost by this close of a margin after doing so.

Cycling Road BMX Mt. Bike – 20,000 wheels descend on Sea Otter Classic

Nearly 20 years ago some 350 mountain bikers congregated to race cross-country and dual slalom at the Laguna Seca Challenge. The events of that 1991 weekend eventually grew into the Sea Otter Classic, which this year will host multiple thousands of racers competing in the widest range of disciplines of any event in North America.

Just outside Monterey, California, Sea Otter kicked off Thursday with criteriums on the Laguna Seca racetrack, plus dual slalom and downhill practice and qualifying runs. On tap over the four-day weekend are pro and amateur road races, circuit races, cross-country, short track, downhill, dual slalom, super D and more.

Sea Otter organizers claim last yearâ€™s event drew 9,500 race entries and some 50,000 spectators over the four-day weekend. Similar numbers are expected this year…Â Details
